Any script that's 40-50 years old is not going to read zippy like what we are used to nowadays.
I've read Rosemary's Baby and that was a slow chunky read for me.
We can read something new too. I don't care, but something a little deeper than some of the fluff out there would be good if we actually going to study a script. At least IMHLO.
We could give Misery a try, why not. But considering what Pia says:

You all would do me a BIG favour if you guys would consider the script from my PERSONAL FAVOURITE WRITER/DIRECTOR of the moment, the one who keeps me writing because --- oh hell, i'm talking for IN BRUGES!
You know, structure is actually central to pretty much every story. Every story has a beginning, middle, and end, and though people do endeavor to subdivide those thre points into categories, every writer has at least a sense of where their story begins, where it ends, and what it has to go through to get there.
If you've ever written something you consider a story, it contains a beginning, middle and end, and so contains a structure.
I know theres a beginning, middle and an end....I just meant I don't follow the specifics of a particular thing happening on a particular page and particular stuff like that.
I'm with Slabby here for sure. I don't like when people think that certain things have to be on certain pages, or have clearly happened by a certain page. I hate it when people try to write a script withen such guidelines.
Anyone who enjoys movies, knows how they flow, how they work...and don't work. No reason at all to think that scripts have a to be a certian way, because they just don't.
yeah transcripts are very annoying for me. The exorcist is a very good one to study, I would say the dark knight, but considering i've seen it six times and have read the script twice, well probably not. Benjamin Button? no...no...as freaking great as it was it's way too long. I'm with Nik for Rosemary's Baby, or In Bruges
Isle 10- A series I'm currently writing with my friend Adam and it will go into production soon. Think The Office meets 10 Items or Less.
